Throw Manny Machado into the mix. With all the Mike Trout hype the past 2 months, collectors are now chasing Machado. His products are still in the early phases of a run higher if he continues to play the way he has. He's the reigning MLB co-player of the week in his 1st week ! Machado is in various products going back to 2009. Alot of the Harper & Machado products seem to overlap and there are sure to be others in the next year or so to add to the list. Overall, there are alot of great prospects who have yet to be called up in 2009-2011 products.

The rest of the market is on fire. Topps is sold out at the factory on almost all their releases coming out til Nov/Dec. Those that are not announced sell outs yet are most likely allocated. Panini just announced a sell out of 2012 Elite FB. With the 2012 FB season just a few weeks away and the Preseason games currently each week, FB products are on the move and will continue to sell well. 2012 Topps Inceptions FB is drying up and 2012 Topps FB is selling very well also particularly Jumbos.

Next week is a big week for releases. We have 2012 Topps Finest Football and 2012 Topps Chrome Baseball along with Panini Rookie & Stars FB. We could see a few of these products run higher upon release.

A few other insights:

-2012 Rittenhouse True Blood sold very well and came live this week. Also getting alot of interest in The Walking Dead series 2 but allocations are not due til the first week of Sept. Topps Galactic could be a big winner also.

-Keep an eye on 2012 Topps Mini's. These were showcased at the National Convention. The breaks have been loaded and once these sell out, they could move higher.

-Alot of collectors and dealers are ready to pounce on FB products. Keep a close eye on early moves. If a player gets hot in the first few weeks, products are going to move pretty quick.

We have a few Promotions going on that should be a ton of fun:

1) The Blowout Cards 2012 NFL Promo has begun. Similar to last year, we will be holding this promo each week. It's Free for all of our members to participate and adds some extra excitement each week as you watch the games !

2) New for this year is our Blowout Cards 2012 Fantasy Football Pick Em' Promo!
Well, not technically new as we did it last year but the giveaway this year is a CASE a WEEK til someone can correctly pick each game for a given week against the spread. It's not going to be easy but this will add a TON of excitement each week for all our members as the potential pot can grow to 17 CASES!
